Will Smith

He's currently Hollywood's most bankable star, but people tend to forget that Will Smith is the first rapper to win a Grammy, as half of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. A long way from his The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air sitcom on NBC, Smith released 10 consecutive blockbusters ($100 million plus at the box office) with movies like I Robot, Hitch, I Am Legend and Hancock in the 2000s. He's also a two-time Oscar nominee and produces movies and television shows.
